Emotiviews 11 - Interview with =OnionBlitz
:iconkrissi001:
&amp;nbsp;
Welcome to a new Edition of Emotiviews!
The interviewee of this edition is:
:iconcheerplz: :iconOnionBlitz: =OnionBlaze :iconOnionBlitz: :iconcheerplz:
opening words of the Artist:
=OnionBlaze
&amp;nbsp;
Hai! I don’t really talk too much, so this will probably be the shortest interview you’ll ever see.

1. Programs of choice for emoting?
=OnionBlaze
&amp;nbsp;
I use Photoshop.

2. What is your favorite legend emote?
=OnionBlaze
&amp;nbsp;
My favourite one is

, but the emotes that I use the most are

and

.
3. How important is shading/size/colour in emotes?
=OnionBlaze
&amp;nbsp;
I think shading makes an emote more appealing to look at. Size doesn’t really matter to me.

I think the color of an emote depends on the emotion you want to show.

4. Have you told people in real life about your emotes?
:

Emoticon Contest: past vs. present vs. futureI am proud to present you my first "official" Emoticon Contest.

At first I want to tell you something about the theme:
As you have read the theme is past vs. present vs. future, this means your entry has to include something from the past, present and future. The time isn't set, this means that the past could be just 1 day ago or 100 years ago it's the same with the future. For example: you could display how the emotes have lived in the past how they are living now and how they could live in the future.
Be creative and surprise me with your imagination

The Contest is divided into 2 Categories:
The first Category will be for deviants who would like to work alone. And the second category is for deviants who want to work with somebody (a collaboration category ;D) 2 deviants can work together.
But you could also enter in both categories!

Below you can find the rules of each category and what you have to keep in mind.

&nbsp;
I asked in a previous Journal that every Emoticonist should write a comment there.
You can still do it on this Journal if you haven't commented yet.
I sent notes to all of those who commented there and asked them a couple of questions.
And now I am going to feature all of this deviants and their answers

If you saw that I have featured you and i didn't include all of your answers/or any answers, you could write a Journal and include all of your answers there. ;D

Random Emote Awesomeness - Volume 10Volume 10 in the series that showcases a random variety of emoticons: some old, some new, some by seasoned emoticonists, some by new artists. There's no real rhyme or reason as to which pieces are featured. Sometimes I pick a theme such as animals, other times it's just whatever strikes my fancy. Below are the current group of awesome emotes hand-picked by me (and sometimes a guest). Much like the title, this News feature will publish a bit randomly. Maybe weekly, maybe every third Thursday, maybe three days in a row--but hopefully at least once a month.

Emoticon DD Summary August 2011

So i herd u liek emotes?? - Volume 122Welcome to the latest volume of so i herd u liek emotes??. This is the 122nd volume in a fortnightly series aimed towards promoting emote and emoticonists from the dA community. It features emotes posted within the past few weeks from both well known and new emoticonists, as well as featuring emote projects, contests and news.
Featured Emoticons
1.

I found ~litecrush and =Indae’s entry to the ‘Opposites’ themed collab event a really interesting twist on the theme. Both sides have been nicely pixelled with a clever link between them to make a single great piece of work.
2.

I just love how ~ROBlNHOOD has managed to animate a range of different water themed items into H2O in one fluent emoticon. Each has a great feel to it and some of the special effects really shine through

Welcome to the Daily Deviation Summary of the Emoticon Gallery from March 2011

Emote Donkey Kong by `Ravenswd

~wisekidk said: " With incredible attention to detail, neat animation, and incredible accuracy, `Ravenswd (along with *Mirz123) has done a brilliant job of making a great fan-art in Emote Donkey Kong"

`CookiemagiK said: " Just amazing! Both the animation and all the tiny details are so similar to the original game graphics. And the emotified characters look adorable xD"

=Kath602 said: "With such a close representation to the classic arcade game with flawless animation, Emote Donkey Kong by `Ravenswd is one emote you can watch many times just to see all the little details."

^SparklyDest said: "It is too amazing. The attention to detail, and the steps they took to make sure it was as close to authentic as possible....just amazing. I remember playing this game and this has taken me back. In a word.....awesome."

Avatar- the last airbender by =Kath602

=EastSideSunsets said: "I love this piece: it's well-pixelled with smooth animation, and it's interesting, not to mention it brings back memories of Saturday mornings watching the Avatar cartoon with my sister"

~wisekidk said: "I always absolutely loved Avatar the last airbender by =Kath602 because it captures the series wonderfully. She's done a great job of animating all four elements, which are very hard on the pixel scale, while combining smooth pixeling and great timing to make a small but amazing emote which is hard to stop staring at."

~Deyys said: "when i saw this it just made me smile so brightly because it is just so extremely sweet and the expressions are funny as well."

~fear-the-brilliance said: "It is beautifully pixeled and contains many interesting things going on in the zoo. The details are incredible!"

Um by ~LittleAlienGirl

~Nironan12 said: "Such a simple emote, but so useful in chat rooms."

Super Smash Emotes by ~ville10

`Emerald-Depths said: "This is a great emote rendition of a popular video game. The pixel work of each character is amazing."

emotes on mah phone by ~jak-jay

~Erdile said: "Oh wow! Not only is the pixel iPhone well made and awesome, but the animation is fluid and the emoticons are just adorable!"

~wisekidk said: "~jak-jay is extremely good at creating great emotes, with great shading and smooth animation, and then combining it with fantastic pixeling, such as we see here in emotes on mah phone. An overall very visually appealing emoticon with great execution. "

:genie: v2 by ~taruto

:genie: v2 by ~taruto is a magical emoticon with a neat shading! It makes me happy to see how much effort ~taruto put into the details of this emote!

Robot Elycorn Attack by `CookiemagiK

I couldn't resist any longer, I just had to feature Robot Elycorn Attack by `CookiemagiK! It is so mesmerizing, I have to watch it again and again. Amazing pixel Art, a super smooth animation and an enormous amount of details turn this Emoticon into a masterpiece!
~♫ Always I wanna be with you and make believe with you and live in harmony harmony oh love..... ♪~

missing u by *a-kid-at-heart

=Indae said: "Such a lovely emoticon, reminds me that it can only take one person to lift my mood <3 , the expressions are well executed and the aim is clear, welcome *a-kid-at-heart to the emoticon community!"

:8C: by !BrushAway

:thumb147540083:

anonymous suggester said: "I feel like a lot of the deviantART community is biased against static emoticons because they occupy a smaller canvas (therefore, in many deviants' minds, require less effort) than their animated counterparts. I believe that if more deviants were to see !BrushAway piece, it might put the static emoticon in a better light because of the attention to detail he's incorporated into the expression and the way he's managed to deviate from the graphical standard attributed to static emoticons (e.g., two pixel eyes, etc.). I think if more of deviantART saw :8C: they would understand that you can put an extraordinary amount of detail into a 16x16 px canvas and that static emoticons require just as much effort as any other form of art."
